Why it’s best not to eat frozen and thawed bread: what you need to know

Once thawed, bread should never be refrozen . This process can increase the risk of contamination and further deteriorate the quality of the product.

How to safely consume frozen bread

If you want to continue freezing bread for convenience, here are some basic rules for doing it correctly:

• Freeze it in slices : this way you can defrost only the quantity you need
• Use food bags and remove excess air
• Defrost it directly in the oven or toaster to maintain its consistency and flavor.
• Don’t leave it out of the fridge for hours : if you don’t consume it immediately, keep it in the fridge

Better fresh or homemade

The best way to enjoy bread healthily and safely is to eat it fresh , or make it at home in small quantities. Homemade bread keeps well for 2-3 days and doesn’t need to be frozen if handled properly.
